MIRROR-SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,001, dated October21, 1890..

Application filed May 19, 1890.

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, KATE MANSFIELD GREENWOOD, spinster, a subject of theQueen of Great Britain` residing at 19 Argyll Road, Kensington,in thecounty of Middlesex, England,'have invented an Improved Mirror-Sup port,of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to enable a lady to use bot-h hands todress her back hair and at the same time to see what she is doing, thusobviating the troublesome necessity of repeatedly taking up and puttingdown the hand-glass to ascertain whether the dressing of the back hairis being rightly carried on.

A pad, to which is pivoted one end of a bracketandto the other end ofwhich is pivoted a mirror, is attached to the body of the wearer byaband,the middle of which passes around the back of her neck, the endscoming to the front and passing down through eyes or slits in the padare crossed and pass to the back of the waist, where they are secured,so that the pad is held firmly in position. The mirror can then beadjusted by turning it about the pivots.

In order that my lsaid invention Inay be fully understood and readilycarried into effect, I will proceed to describe the drawings hereuntoannexed.

Figure 1 is a front elevation showing the parts constituting theimproved mirror-support as I prefer lto arrange it. Fig. 2 shows themirror-support in use.

a is a frame with a small mirrormounted in it and resembling an ordinaryhand-glass.

Serial 110.352,357. (No model.)

b is a bracket tdwhich the part a is pivoted, and this bracket b is inturn pivoted to a pad c. The pad c is secured to the body of the user bya band cl, which, as is seen in Fig. 2, passes around the neck andthrough loops or guides on or in the pad. In these the band runs freely,and its ends are connected together behind the back.

- e in Fig. 2 indicates a cheval glass. The reection in this is seeninthe mirror set in the frame ct.

What I claim isbracket b, pivoted thereto, the strap d, extending aroundthe waist and over the shoulders of the user, and the pad @secured'tothe band CZ between the waist and shoulders and to which the bracket ispivoted.

2. The combination of the mirror-frame a, the bracket b,pivotedvertically to the frame c and to the pad c, the said pad c and the bandcl,connected with the pad, passing thence behind the neck of the wearer,returning to the front, passing through a loop or guide on the pad, andafterward passing again to the back and there meeting and beingconnected with the other end of the band, all substantially as hereindescribed.
